We should throw them all out and recruit 13 grad kids. Then we'll just get 13 new ones every year, and won't lose anyone to the portal. Problem solved! While, I see your point, I have to disagree with it. For two reasons: 1. Your way, no one will be back. And that's a certainty. 2. I'm still not sure how transferring will play out in the long term. Kids might find that the grass isn't always greener. So there is always HOPE that some won't leave. It was a joke.

I liked Quigley, but the CYO style dribbling into a crowd was infuriating. Not a good passer. There's a modern reference for you! It is if you coach CYO or travel basketball. Present tense. Many similarities.

Agree with that. "Once A Gael, Always A Gael" doesn't apply to those who ditch so quickly. Screw them. But the guys under Pitino were because they won, lol

The new NCAA rules hit mid-manor hardest. But it could kill the golden goose that is the NCAA tournament. It's the dark horses that keeps the public interest in the tourney. Without that, the tournament it strictly a gambler's nest. They don't think that. They said there is a better chance of the 8th big 12 team winning than a mid major, they don't get it

Given the NCAA landscape, should Iona have handled things differently last year? I’m referring to doing everything they could to keep Shitino in NewRochelle? All I remember hearing is how Shitino did not do anything different than other past coaches. I’ll always hate the guy for what he did to us but do I wish he was still our coach…. Yeah. I was all over TA taking over but starting over again might be too much for ANY coach to overcome. So pissed but there is always hope. Keep the faith!

The Big East, television cameras, media spot light, MSG etc was what he was looking for. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pitino era, but now support Tobin. As far as the transfers, Quigley was the only loss. I really hope we keep Aranguren.

Can’t wait to see where they end up.

We have no option but to give TA our support. Godspeed Gaels.

Set your minds to a total T/O, so if and when it happens, you'll be less disappointed. But, since it was intended only as a joke, I'll apologize.
